ATLANTA (AP) - Police are investigating a hit-and-run accident involving a school bus and a pickup truck in northwest Atlanta.
The accident occurred on Hightower Road near St. Joseph Avenue Wednesday afternoon, and officer John Chafee says children were taken to Hughes Spaulding Hospital for evaluations.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the bus was carrying students from Douglass High School and none of the teens are believed to be seriously injured.
